i know that protools is the industry standard for recording but , i wonder this. Its really just a computer, so why would i not be better of with the fastest G5 that is available and MOTU DP4 and apogee converters, which are better to begin with. The cost difference would be tremendous, and will i really be able to slow down the G5. iM only recording audio, very little MIDI . I want to hear both sides of this if possible, real reasons.

With DP4.1, that should have been out allready, you will be able to run
ProTools TDM/DAE systems.

The big difference with ProTools TDM systems is NOT quality, it is price.
( tdm systems are over-priced )

I recorded a couple of songs with my band in ProTools studio some years ( 4 ) back.
( the system ran on maxed out PC with ultra scsi-raid system on windows NT4 )

The whole setup unstable in the extreme, with lots of rebooting, defragmentation
and BSOD. ( i didnt pay for the extra time )
